|
you ever been hated |
|
or discriminated against? |
|
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against. |
|
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes. |
|
Look at the times. Sick is the mind |
|
of the motha fuckin' kid that's behind |
|
all this commotion. Emotions run deep |
|
as ocean's explodin.' |
|
Tempers flaring from parents, |
|
just blow 'em off and keep goin.' |
|
Not takin' nothin' from no one, |
|
give 'em hell long as I'm breathin. |
|
Keep kickin' ass in the mornin,' |
|
an' takin' names in the evening. |
|
Leavem with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth. |
|
See, they can trigger me |
|
but they never figure me out. |
|
Look at me now, |
|
I bet ya probably sick of me now. |
|
Ain't you mama, |
|
I'ma make you look so ridiculous now. |
|
I'm sorry, Mama. |
|
I never meant to hurt you. |
|
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight |
|
I'm cleanin' out my closet. |
|
I got some skeletons in my closet |
|
and I don't know if no one knows it. |
|
So before they thrown |
|
me inside my coffin and close it, |
|
I'ma expose it. I'll take you back to |
|
73 before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' CD. |
|
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months. |
|
My faggot father must have |
|
had his panties up in a bunch, |
|
cuz he split. |
|
I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye. |
|
No, I don't on second thought, |
|
I just fuckin' wished he would die. |
|
I look at Hailie |
|
and I couldn't picture leavin' her side. |
|
Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try |
|
to make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake. |
|
I maybe made some mistakes |
|
but I'm only human. |
|
But I'm man enough to face them today. |
|
/What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb |
|
but the smartest shit |
|
I did was take them bullets out of that gun. |
|
Cuz id'a killed 'em, |
|
shit I would have shot Kim an' him both. |
|
It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show. |
|
Now I would never dis my own mama just to get recognition. |
|
Take a second to listen for you think this record is dissin,' |
|
But put yourself in my position. |
|
ust try to envision witnessin' your |
|
Mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen, |
|
bitchin' that someone's always g |
|
oin' thro |
